The 4440 Gooseneck Trailer Hitch Installation Rail Kit is designed for the 1988-2000 Chevrolet old body style 6 and 8 foot beds. For the 2500 HD Classic from 2001-2007 and for the 2007-2009 2500 HD New Body Style you will need part number 4434, for a 6 or 8 foot bed. I have posted a link to this item and to a installation video below for you.

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…
